Now for the first time in Australia to celebrate the Who's 50th anniversary, Three of Australia’s finest singers have banded together to create an unforgettable tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of all time

The Who were one of the great rock bands of the all-time. Formed in 1964, early on the group was
part of the "Mod" movement, playing R&B music in stylized tailored suits, before morphing into an
unruly proto-punk band famous for smashing their instruments at the end of live performances. This
period is epitomized by the oft-mentioned lyric "Hope I die before I get old" in the band's 1965 tune
"My Generation."

Eventually The Who graduated into high-minded and inventive rock, rising in fame alongside fellow
Brit superbands The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and playing at Woodstock in 1969. Daltry was a
blonde-maned and bare-chested lead singer, Townshend an energetic dervish on guitar. Moon
became one of rock-and-roll's great flameouts, famous for his savage drumming and whimsically
mad offstage life until his sudden death at age 32. Burly bassist Entwistle anchored the group,
standing stoically alongside Townshend's leaps and windmills.

The band continued on after the deaths of Moon and later Entwistle, touring and recording into the
21st century. Their many albums include My Generation (1965), The Who Sell Out (1969, including
the single "I Can See for Miles"), the ground-breaking rock opera Tommy (1969, with the single
"Pinball Wizard"), the landmark Live at Leeds (1970), Who's Next (1971, with the singles "Baba
O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again"), Who Are You (1978), and It's Hard (1982). The 1973
concept album Quadrophenia was the basis for a 1979 movie. A 1979 documentary of the band, The
Kids Are Alright, was titled after their 1965 single of that name.

The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Now for the first time in Australia to celebrate the Who's 50th anniversary, Three of Australia's
finest singers have banded together to create an unforgettable tribute to one of the greatest rock
bands of all time.

Simon Meli is your quintessential rock 'n' roller. His love of 70's rock is evident in both his look and
sound - he takes his cue from Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes and Lenny Kravitz. He has been
performing professionally for more than 10 years, and tours regularly with his band 'The
Widowbirds'. Eager to appear on The Voice, Simon interrupted his bands tour and flew 30 hours
from Stockholm especially for The Voice audition.

extensively with the band. Ciaran has just co-written a song for the new movie 'Imagined' starring Al

Paolo Nutini amongst others. As a songwriter he co-wrote Madonna's Grammy nominated

followed by Electric Hippies, to become a dynamic solo performer. His compelling music and unique
style transcends generations. After playing sell-out concerts, touring the world and receiving

underground swell amongst new fans. Steve connects with his audience through his genuine and
powerful performances.
